Firebug, uBot, Class ???

Ok, so I'm trying to learn more about what does what and what is what...

 

I'm looking at a form using uBot and it needs to fill in two text fields.

 

Here is the name field HTML (View Source)

 

<div class="af-element">
<label class="previewLabel" for="awf_field-44630789">Name: </label>
<div class="af-textWrap">
<input id="awf_field-44630789" type="text" name="name" class="text" value=""  tabindex="503" />
</div>

 

Here is the email field HTML (View Source)

 

<div class="af-element">
<label class="previewLabel" for="awf_field-44630790">Email: </label>
<div class="af-textWrap"><input class="text" id="awf_field-44630790" type="text" name="email" value="" tabindex="504"  />
</div><div class="af-clear"></div>
</div>

uBot can find these two fields and fills them correctly, but how does it do it?

 

(See Attached Screen Shot)

 

Where does uBot come up with the two fields called: "<full name field>" and "<email field>"? Those tags are not anywhere in the HTML, I've even looked at it using Firebug...

 

Does it have something to do with the class assigned to the fields?

 

Where does uBot find (come up with) these two fields?

 

Blowing my mind.

I didn't know there was a blog somewhere... or I knew and I forgot... whatever...

 

I am sad though, 'cause I wish there was an announcement mechanism of any sorts there like an email list.  Heh...

Well, I guess they thought we could always build bots to check the blog regularly... LOL
